Nationwide, Annexus Roll Out ‘Next-Gen’ In-Plan Guaranteed Income Solution “Lifetime Income Builder” meant to help 401(k) plan participants maximize their retirement income Nationwide and Annexus Retirement Solutions today announced that they have partnered to bring to market “Lifetime Income Builder,” an in-plan guaranteed income solution that is built to help retirement plan participants maximize their retirement income. The new retirement plan investment option, slated to launch later this year, is an expansion of an existing partnership between Columbus, Ohio-based Nationwide and Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Annexus, which has involved bringing new products to market over the past seven years. Passed in late 2019, the SECURE Act created opportunities to provide more flexibility and access to annuities within defined contribution retirement plans. In addition to the legislative change, Nationwide points to research showing consumers’ need for lifetime income is stronger than ever.
